@YuanBraun@JucheAffirmer Dongbei city life is like Berlin in the 90's. Rent is cheap, cost of living low. In summer, BBQ in the park and drink beer. In winter, weekend at cozy hot spring. Poor but sexy.
@ripplebrain it's just deniability games. They'll send the whole kit to Ukraine and you only need to stick two parts together, voila it's assembled locally
@hayasaka_aryan I walked out of it after 20 mins. First time. That mix of comical gore violence with profanity is just a sign of arrested development man. Uncle Ted wrote about this.
The western world is just a fancy way of saying GAE, and a solution will only be possible once the empire dies. Similar to what happened in all the -Stans after collapse of the UDSSR. Cutting loose USAID(s) was already a step in that direction and you see how quickly things changed.
@JucheAffirmer Everyone is doing robobs and AI as a last hail mary. TFR lower than Japan, but average age is also still lower, a bit more time left. Technology still has many curverballs to serve, it's too early to tell how it will play out.
@hazebollah0@JucheAffirmer@HabibAhnaf9784 Again, it doesn't cost much to fly to Shanghai (free Visa for most countries) and take a highspeed train to hop around. It's difficult to impossible to build an opinion around China from afar, everything is true and also false at the same time.
@hazebollah0@JucheAffirmer Me neither, haha, just spitballing. I don't think it's that complicated in the end. AI loss of jobs and falling birthrates will make the RE based economic model difficult to perpetuate.
